SPRINT BRIEF

In Artifacts of Stories, students will harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to embark on a virtual globetrotting adventure, exploring the world through patterns and learning about the different values and meanings visually encoded in them.

Throughout this sprint, students will self-reflect and define their own life values to create patterned garments using AI to visualize their designed patterns. Then students will use hand-printing techniques for fabric to transfer these patterns onto fabric.

AI Discussion

What is your familiarity with AI toolsets?

؜Have you used them in visual ways?

WHAT WE ARE MAKING

WHY WE ARE MAKING IT

Prints designed with AI-collaborator that reflect our identity, beliefs and values

To explore how to partner with AI as a collaborator and explore our own unique viewpoints in a creative way

Final Project Expectations

Students will harness AI to help refine their prints

Students will showcase their garments in a lookbook and fashion show

Students will create tote-bags featuring hand-printed patterns that reflect their personal values, beliefs, and aspirations

A good example of signals are "the launch of chatGPT" or "the fall of the iconic tunnel tree redwood" and good examples of drivers would be "artificial intelligence" or "climate change"

Then, identify signals (glimpses of the future we already see today) and drivers (what made the signal possible)
